This is a follow-up to his bestseller -- "The 4-Hour Workweek" -- and Ferriss has been hyping his new tome for months now. While the pitch comes across as a little (okay, a lot) over-the-top, I couldn't resist buying it. I pre-ordered a copy (along with Gary Taubes' upcoming book) a while back, and can't wait for it to show up on my doorstep.

How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.

How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)

How to increase fat-loss 300% using temperature manipulation

How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time

How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested

How to produce 15-minute female orgasms

How to triple testosterone and double sperm count

How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks

How to reverse permanent injuries

How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months

How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects. You don’t need better genetics or more discipline. You need immediate results that compel you to continue. That’s exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.

Granted, I have serious doubts about the whole "sleep 2 hours and feel fully rested" thing. I am not about to ditch my Paleo approach in favor of "odd combinations" of "chemical cocktails." And I'm really uninterested in tripling my testosterone or doubling my sperm count, as (1) I am already super-manly (obviously), and (2) we're done pumping out kids. (We refuse to be outnumbered by our children.)
